Hans Hofmann, a representative of Abstract

Expressionism and American Modernism during

the 20th century with European roots, had a

fundamental influence as a teacher on the

development of modern art in America. His

brightly coloured paintings, watercolours and

drawings can now be discovered in a European

retrospective. From 1904 until 1914, the painter Hans

Hofmann (1880 - 1966), who was a friend of

Picasso, Braque, Matisse, the Fauves and Robert

and Sonia Delaunay, witnessed and absorbed

the new

art in Paris, the centre of European art.

In his art school, founded in Munich in 1915, he

became a mediator of French modernism and

achieved international fame as an art teacher. In

1932 he emigrated to the United States and two

years later opened the Han s Hofmann School of

Fine Arts in New York. He influenced a new

generation of American artists, including

Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler and

Barnett Newman.
